The gas man cometh

[igenlode]

I had another visit from the gas man to read the meter this week (I'm quite impressed that British Gas still bother, instead of pushing off the labour onto the customer -- nobody reads my electricity meter!), and in consequence have received another letter telling me that my direct debits need to go up... which I could have told them last January, when they reduced the payments in the first place. :-p

The new monthly direct debit is for £28, which is gratifyingly close to the £30 that I actually budgeted (although I'm a little alarmed to notice that I apparently *planned* to budget £40, but didn't remember to do so!)

Total energy costs in the last 6 months: £150.
